STOVE.

Application filed September 2, 1922. Serial No. 585,869.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAURUS C. RnoK, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and btate of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the reference numerals marked thereon.

This "invention relates to cooking stoves and more particularly to the variety provided with ovens for baking, roasting, broillocated at an elevation above the stove with an oven superstructure top and heated by gas or other suitable means, one object of the invention being to provide a stove of the above character having the superposed ovens efliciently and conveniently arranged to afford a maximum degree of accessibility for the attendant.

Another object is the provision of a stove of the above variety having the oven structure practically arranged to provide on its top a convenientwarming shelf within easy reach of the attendant.

Still a further object is to provide a construction such as indicated above with the parts compactly and economically disposed to utilize a portion of the double insulating wall of one oven as a passageway for the escape of the products of combustion from the other oven to the main escape flue. To these and other ends the inventionresides in certain improvements and combinations of parts all as will hereinafter be more fully described, the novel features being pointed out in the claims at the end of the specification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation partly broken away of a cooking stove embodying the present invention; 7 H

Figure 2 is an enlarged elevation of the superstructure-in section on a plane parallel with the stove front, and

Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional side elevation of one of the ovens on the line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Similar reference numerals throughout the several views indicate the same parts.

The invention is embodied in the present instance in combination with a cooking stove of an ordinary variety the main'or lower portion of which may comprise a coal burning structure or a combined coal and gas burning arrangement, together with a standard extending above the top of the stove at its back and carrying ovens heated by gas or other suitable means and adapted, for example, for broiling, baking, roasting and the like. The invention comprises, generally speaking, an advantageous arrangement and construction in combination with such a stove of a pair of ovens, one of relatively large size or height for baking, roasting and the like, and the other of relatively smaller size or height for broiling. It has been found that a pair of ovens differing in size and height, as consistent with the intended uses, may be advantageously arranged one beside the other with the lower oven adjacent the bottom of the higher oven within convenient reach of the attendant and with its top at a substantial distance from the top of the higher oven to afford a warming shelf for dishes and the like also brought by such arrangement within convenient reach of the attendant. This construction furthermore, makes it possible to utilize a portion of the double outer wall of thehigher oven adjacent and above the lower oven as a passageway for the escape of the products of combustion from the latter to the top of the higher oven and flue, thus afl'ording a compact and economical construction.

Referring more particularly to the drawings there is shown at 5, Figure l, a stove inthe present instance of the coal burning type having a top 6 on which is supported an upright or standard 7 for supporting the superposed ovens. The stove 5 may, of course, have other forms than that shown and the standard '7 may be constructed in any suitable manner, comprising in the present in stance a back plate 8 with forwardly extending walls at its ends provided adjacent their tops with forwardly extending brackets 9 for supporting the ovens as well understood in the art.

The superposed ovens, of which in the present instance there are two, include a relatively large baking or roasting oven 10 at the left hand side of the stove having the usual front door 11. The bottom of this oven as shown is arranged at a substantial; elevation above the top 6 of the stove so as not to interfere with the use of the latter thence to the main escape ingfiin fact a bott .a substantial distance below provide an intermediate insulating air space as well understood in the art( Air inlet openings 17 'are provided adjacent the bottomof the oven below the burner and the;

products of combustion, passingupwardly through the spaces 18 and 19 between the inner oven walls walls,- are transmittedthrough openlngs 29 man inner top'plate 21 into'aspace 22above thetop o'f the oven.
